by declaring an emergency, it elim-

as Columbus Success Academy
(the old Hunt High School on 20th

authority to purchase commodities
and services for the district during

“Technically Dr. Labat could
have acted on her own and then re-
ported back to the board during the
next regular board meeting,” Dunn
said. “In an abundance of caution
and feeling like we all need to be
on the same page, we’re asking the
board to declare the district in a
state of emergency.”
Trustees unanimously approved
the state of emergency during a
special-call meeting this morning.

Republican Bryant, who is in his eighth and fi-

the weekend for a National Governors’ Association
meeting and other activities. He issued an emer-

GLENDORA — The
mayor of Glendora, Mis-
sissippi, says overflowing
rivers swollen with recent
rain have encircled his
town and forced some
families to leave their
homes.
The Greenwood Com-
monwealth reported
Wednesday that the town
of 151 people is caught be-
tween the flooded Talla-
hatchie River to the north
and the Black Bayou to
the south. Mayor Johnny
Thomas says the recent
flood is worse than the
one that soaked the town
in 2015, when record rain-
fall passed through the
area.
The water is within
inches of covering the ar-
ea’s section of U.S. High-
way 49 in both directions.
Thomas says “I hope it
doesn’t get worse. We’ve
only got one way out of
here.”

Congress mulls cap on what Supreme Court

Medicare enrollees pay for drugs
‘Out-of-pocket costs are a concern of ours,
particularly at the catastrophic level.’
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, which oversees Medicare
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With health
care a top issue for American vot-
ers, Congress may actually be mov-
ing toward doing something this
year to address the high cost of pre-
scription drugs.
President Donald Trump, Demo-
crats trying to retire him in 2020,
and congressional incumbents of
both parties all say they want ac-
tion. Democrats and Republicans
are far apart on whether to empow-
er Medicare to negotiate prices, but
there’s enough overlap to allow for
agreement in other areas.
High on the list is capping out-
of-pocket costs for participants in
Medicare’s popular Part D pre-
scription drug program, which has
a loophole that’s left some benefi-
ciaries with bills rivaling a mort-
gage payment.
The effort to cap out-of-pocket
costs in Medicare’s prescription
plan is being considered as part of
broader legislation to restrain drug
prices.
Limits on high medical and drug
bills are already part of most em-
ployer-based and private insurance.
They’re called “out-of-pocket maxi-
mums” and are required under the
Obama-era health law for in-net-
work services. But Medicare has
remained an outlier even as prices
have soared for potent new brand-
name drugs, as well as older main-
stays such as insulin.
“The issue has my attention,”
said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, which oversees Medi-
care. “Out-of-pocket costs are a
concern of ours, particularly at the
catastrophic level.” His committee
has summoned CEOs from seven
pharmaceutical companies to a
hearing Tuesday.
While Grassley said he hasn’t
settled on a specific approach, the
committee’s top Democrat, Oregon
Sen. Ron Wyden, recently intro-
duced legislation that would cap
out-of-pocket costs at about $2,650
for Medicare beneficiaries taking
brand-name drugs. One co-sponsor
is Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar,
a Democratic presidential candi-
date.
considers fate of cross-
shaped war memorial
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is diving
into a debate about the place of religious symbols in
public life in a case about a cross-shaped war memo-
rial in Maryland.
Those challenging the cross say that if the court
allows it to stand on public land, the ruling could
make it easier for government officials to defend
support for religion. On the other side, supporters
of the cross say a ruling against them could spell the
“doom of hundreds of war memorials that use cross-
es to commemorate the fallen.”
The case the high court is hearing Wednesday in-
volves a 40-foot-tall, concrete cross on a large, grassy
highway median in Maryland, just outside Washing-
ton. The nearly 100-year-old cross was built as a me-
morial to area residents who died in World War I.
The cross’s challengers include three area resi-
dents and the District of Columbia-based American
Humanist Association, a group that includes atheists
and agnostics. They argue that the cross’s location
on public land violates the First Amendment’s es-
tablishment clause, which prohibits the government
from favoring one religion over others. They say the
cross should be moved to private property or modi-
fied into a nonreligious monument such as a slab or
obelisk.

Mississippi House votes to limit landowners’ liability

By EMILY
WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Attorneys
in the Mississippi House
are sharply divided over
a bill that could limit the
liability of landowners or
property managers who
are sued by people harmed
on their property.
The House voted 74-39
Monday to pass Senate Bill
2901, named the “Land-
owners Protection Act.”
The vote was largely along
party lines, with most Re-
publicans supporting it and
most Democrats opposing
it. After the vote, the bill
was held for the possibility
of another round of House
debate another day.
Republican Rep. Mark
Baker of Brandon, who is
an attorney, argued for the
bill, saying it would bring
clarity to business owners.
Democratic Rep. Ed
Blackmon, who is also an
attorney, argued against
the bill, saying it would
create problems for people
who are harmed.
Senators passed a ver-
sion of the bill in early Feb-
ruary. The House made
some changes, and the
two chambers must agree
on a single version before
the bill could go to the gov-
ernor.
Baker said the Missis-
sippi Supreme Court has
found in one case that a
business owner is not an
insurer for all things that
may occur on the property.
He said the court has also
held that “the relationship
between a perpetrator and
a victim may be relevant”
in premises liability cases.
“Respectfully, this bill
simply pulls together a
wide area of case law ...
to put it in one line, in one
place, clarity for business
owners so they know that
the risk is when they do
business in your commu-
nity,” said Baker, who is
running for attorney gen-
eral this year.
Blackmon said he has
represented both plaintiffs
and defendants in premis-
es liability cases.
“They’re expensive
and they’re hard to win,”
Blackmon said of such cas-
es, adding that the state
Supreme Court already
puts a heavy burden on
plaintiffs to prove their
claims.

City was wise to

plan for flooding
at riverside facilities
In the days that followed Saturday’s weather disaster —
torrential rains that pushed the Tombigbee River to its highest
level in almost three decades and a devastating EF-3 tornado
— old criticisms have emerged over the decision to build the
Riverwalk, the Terry Brown Amphitheater and the Columbus
Soccer Complex in a flood plain.
While portions of the yet-to-be-completed amphitheater
were already flooded Friday before Saturday’s heaviest rain-
fall — the standing room area close to the stage was already
flooded — we do not believe it’s fair to call its location a
mistake. It’s likely that the flooding of the standing room area
can be easily remedied and there may other changes that can
be made now that we have seen exactly what happens during a
major flood.
Nor do we believe building the soccer complex at its loca-
tion along Moore’s creek in an area known as Burns Bottom
was a mistake, either.
Those who still question those decisions point, with some-
thing akin to a perverse pleasure, to the flooded facilities. The
amphitheater stage, 17 feet above the river’s normal water
level, was consumed by the flood waters while the area that
includes soccer complex was inundated as far as Third Street
North. The Riverwalk, obviously, was quickly submerged as
the river began to escape its banks.
To what extent building the soccer complex at Burns
Bottom was a gamble, it’s proven to be a good bet. Since the
soccer complex opened in 2015, flooding has been minimal,
limited to the back of the complex nearest Moore’s Creek.
Even so, city and county officials early in planning recog-
nized the potential for flooding at all three venues and took
steps to mitigate the damage.
Lights along the Riverwalk and near the soccer complex
receive electricity from underground cables covered with
waterproof sheathing. All complex electricity controls at both
sites were placed in boxes well above the flood waters. The
new concessions stands built on the north side of the soccer
complex were built to resist flooding and strong winds with
stainless steel and brick. The electrical panels at the amphi-
theater were placed 23 feet above normal river level and it ap-
pears some of those panels have been exposed to the flooding.
The cost to replace those panels, if they are indeed damaged,
is just $5,000 each, according to city engineer Kevin Stafford.
All of those measures showed foresight. As a result, the
damage caused by the flooding will be relatively minimal.
Those critical of the decisions to build the soccer complex
and the amphitheater at their present locations adjacent to the
Riverwalk fail to consider the benefits of having all three facili-
ties built in close proximity. They complement each other.
Together, they provide a multi-use complex that appeals to a
broad range of activities.
Saturday’s flood should not be considered a “gotcha” mo-
ment.
Even in the aftermath of this rare disaster, the strategic
benefits of this location for these facilities far outweigh the
costs.
Rehashing old criticisms is a needless distraction at this
point. Our time and energy is of far better use when it is devot-

Plymouth Road
Continued from Page 1A
“We had to find that out
ourselves,” one resident
told Sanders. “No one
from the city called. No
one from the city checked
on us.”
As flood waters recede
from their 166.6-foot crest
— the highest the waters
have been since 1991
— the hole continues to
widen. As of Wednes-
day morning, videos on
Facebook show the soil
beneath the road has also
worn away, exposing a
large drainage pipe and
more than doubling the
width of the hole.
The city of Columbus
is responsible for Plym-
outh Road. Public Works
Director Casey Bush did
not respond to calls from
The Dispatch by press
time.
Public Works employ-
ees can’t begin repairs
until the water recedes,
something that frustrated
the two employees sent to
assess the damage Tues-
day afternoon.
“I could fix this,” said
one, gesturing to the
swirling water. “I know
what to do. I just wish the
city would let us do it. But
that’s not my call.”
Plymouth Road resi-
dent Kelley Perrigin, who
started recording the evo-
lution of the hole on her
Facebook page Sunday
morning, said she plans
to get rides to and from
her job in downtown Co-
lumbus until the road is
repaired. She couldn’t
leave her home at all on
Monday, and friends who
pick her up have to meet
her at the end of Plym-
outh Road since it’s been
barricaded by the city. All
told, she has to walk about
a mile one way.
She doesn’t mind the
walk or the flooding. She

said. “We knew it was
the best use for the land
and we made sure we put
things in that weren’t go-
ing to be affected by flood-
ing.”
Lights along the River-
walk and near the soccer
complex receive electric-
ity from underground
cables covered with wa-
terproof sheathing. All
complex electricity con-
trols at both sites were
placed in boxes well above
the flood line. The new
concession stands built on
the north side of the soc-
cer complex were built to
resist flooding and strong
winds with stainless steel
and stone.
At the amphitheater —
where the stage has been
completed as part of a $3
million first phase — Staf-
ford said electrical panels
are built behind the stage
too high to be affected
by the flood water. For
the second phase — esti-
mated at $2.5 million —
Stafford said concession
stands, restrooms, fenc-
ing and gating all will be
built above the floodplain.
“We will have to take
a look at the stage once
the water recedes,” Staf-
ford said of the amphi-
theater stage. “There are
some panels under that
stage that we may have
to replace, but it’s a minor
cost.”
The Sen. Terry Brown Amphitheater across the river from the Riverwalk in Columbus

lived on this same street
during “The Great Flood

ters reached almost 180
feet — so comparatively,
this isn’t so bad, she said.
However, she’s worried
about the possibility of ve-
hicles unable to get past
Short Gavin
Lowndes County Rec-
reation Director Roger
Short said more than
50 percent of the soccer
complex is still under wa-
ter. However, he said the
damage was less than he
had expected, especially
considering the EF-3 tor-
nado that ripped through
the city Saturday evening.
The county’s recre-
ation department will
have to check the air con-
ditioning units inside the
concession stands and
bathrooms, as well as the
irrigation system, Short
said. The four soccer
fields and the dog park on
the north side of the com-
plex are still totally sub-
merged.
“We’re probably go-
ing to have to replace the
(dog park structures) and
I think the water fountain
there has floated away,”
Short said.
The playground near
the center of the complex
is still partially flooded,
but the mulch surround-
ing the play structures is
still in place. The five soc-

“There are some older
people on this road,” she
said. “What if somebody
had a heart attack or oth-
er emergency? How do
you handle that?”
She hopes repair crews
cer fields, the irrigation
system and the conces-
sion stands on the south
side of the complex are
now above water. Short
expects the county will
have to power wash and
possibly re-till the fields,
but the concrete conces-
sion stand has been un-
scathed.
“I was pleasantly sur-
prised when I went down
there,” he said. “There’s
a little bit of debris but it’s
not as bad as I thought.
We’re not nearly in as bad
of shape as I thought we
were.”
According to The Na-
tional Weather Service,
the Tombigbee River
crested at 166.6 feet on
Monday. The last time
the water levels were that
high was in 1991. Staf-
ford said the infrequency
of such extreme flooding
means it’s highly unlike-
ly the amphitheater will
flood often.
“I would not anticipate
water getting up near the
stage but every 10 or 15
years,” Stafford said.
City Councilman Bill
Gavin, Ward 6, said he’s
prepared for Columbus
residents to decry the
placement of the facilities
under water.
“I’m sure we’ll get
some blowback,” he said.

is more focused on the
damage wrought by the
EF-3 tornado that ripped
through northeast Co-
lumbus Saturday.
“I think with the tor-
nado, the flooding got
pushed aside,” she said.
Until the water re-
cedes and the road is
repaired, residents like
Jerry Wayne Beard are
prepared to keep doing
what they’ve been doing
the past few days: park-
ing their cars on one side
of the hole and walking
across to the other side.
Beard, who owns All
Star Fence in Columbus,
said he and his wife were
out of town during the
tornado. When they came
back on Sunday, they real-
ized their car could only
make it as far as the hole.
They carefully crossed

forts.
“There might be some
concerns, but those things
are already in place,” he
added. “We can’t just pick
them up and move them.”
After the water re-
cedes, Stafford expects
the city will need to power
wash the Riverwalk and
amphitheater before turn-
ing on the power to check
the electrical boxes and
lights.
“All of these facilities
are designed to withstand
flooding,” he said. “There
should be a very minimal
impact long-term.”

Carter helps MSU
extend SEC winning
streak to five
By DAVID BRANDT
The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Tyson Carter came to
Mississippi State two years ago as a super-skin-
ny shooter who coach Ben Howland hoped would
grow — literally and figuratively — into a larger
role on the team.
Gaining the pounds hasn’t come easy, but the
points are starting to come in bunches.
Carter scored a season-high 22 points, Quin-
ndary Weatherspoon added 20 and the MSU
men’s basketball team led the entire game in a
68-49 victory against Missouri on Tuesday night.
“Tyson had it going,” Howland said. “He really
did a great job. Made big shots.”
Carter was 7-for-12 from the field, including
4-for-8 from 3-point range. The 6-foot-4 junior’s
production has come at a good time. He is av-
eraging 15 points in the past four games since
starting guard Nick Weatherspoon was suspend-
ed for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Carter has gained about 20 pounds since
coming to Starkville two years ago, though he
grinned and said “it doesn’t look like it.” Even
though he’ll never be a bruiser, he’s gained
enough strength to find cracks in the defense
and create space to make shots.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

The W earns No. 2 national seed for Division 1 USCAA tournament

By Don Rowe
Special to The Dispatch
Almost 17 years ago, in late
2002, the Mississippi University
for Women ended its intercolle-
giate sports program after a tor-
nado destroyed its gymnasium
and then-President Claudia Lim-
bert petitioned the state College
Board to discontinue its athletic
program.
Two years ago, The W’s cur-
rent administration began the
process of hiring an athletic di-
rector and head coaches to lead
a reconstituted intercollegiate
athletic department.
Key to the resurgence of wom-
en’s sports and the introduction
of men’s athletics at The W was
the hiring of athletic director Ja-
son Trufant, who has achieved a
rare trifecta — the school’s base-
ball and softball teams played for
a national championship last year,
and this season The W women’s
basketball team has received a
bid to play in the United States
Collegiate Athletic Association
(USCAA) Division 1 tournament
on March 6-9 in Uniontown,
Pennsylvania.
The W (18-6) will play Sil-
ver Lake College in the opening
round at 1 p.m. Thursday, March
7, at Penn State Fayette. The
game will be streamed at basket-
ball.theuscaa.com.
“Being one of the top eight
teams in the country and the No.
2 seed playing for the chance to
win a national championship in
just its first year as a team is a
huge accomplishment for a group
of girls who have been playing to-
gether for only four months,” Tr-
ufant said. “I never in my wildest
dreams ever expected this in our
first year. I’m proud of each and
every one of them, as well as the
coaching staff, and I look forward
to our school representing the
city of Columbus and the state
of Mississippi in the tournament
next week.”
Trufant’s hiring of coach How-
ard White Jr. turned out to be a
wise choice to re-start a program
that had a rich history before be-
ing the athletic department was
discontinued.
No stranger to success on the
court, White brought an impres-
sive résumé to The W. A native
of Wilmot, Arkansas, he most
recently served as head coach at
Concordia College in Selma, Ala-
bama, where he led the Lady Hor-
nets to back-to-back Division 1
USCAA national championships
and compiled a 51-7 record.
Prior to his tenure at Concor-
dia, White served as an assistant
at a half dozen colleges, includ-
ing Aiken Technical College,
Benedict College, St. Augustine
College, the University of North
Florida, Bethune-Cookman, and
Florida State College.
“I’m very excited about the op-
portunity presented to us,” White
said. “To play for a national cham-
pionship on any level is an accom-
plishment to be proud of, and I
want to thank everyone who has
supported us this year as we seek
to win a national title.”
White said reaching the tour-
nament was a dream come true
in a season that saw the Owls
ranked No. 1 for several weeks.
“We really didn’t expect to
go to the tournament in our first
year as a team. Really, no one
did,” White said. “But about the
middle of the season we started
getting better running our of-
fense and playing together as a
team.”
In addition to No. 2 MUW
(18-6), No. 1 seed Maine Ft. Kent
(22-5), No. 3 Paul Quinn College
(18-9), No. 4 Florida National, No.
5 Bluefield State, No. 6 Florida
College, No. 7 Carlow Universi-
ty, and No. 8 Silver Lake College
were set to join the Owls
The W was scheduled to play
Carlow University, but Florida
College, after accepting its bid,
pulled out of the tournament to
participate in another tourna-
ment, so The W will face Silver
Lake College in the first round.
White’s squad ranks first in
the USCAA in rebounds and op-
ponents’ field goal percentage,
while Silver Lake has the most
blocked shots and ranks in the
top eight in points scored, 3-point-
ers made, 3-pointers attempted,
3-point percentage, defensive re-
bounds, and assists.
“It doesn’t matter who we play,
we’re going to Uniontown and we
expect to win,” White said. “We
never go into any game expecting
to lose.”
A win would set up The W for a
game against Paul Quinn or Car-
low University.
“Paul Quinn is battle tested,
and I consider them to be our big-
gest competitor in our bracket,”
White said.
Junior Qiayon Bailey, a for-
mer standout at West Point High
School, is one of the team leaders.
Bailey, a transfer from Meridian
Community College, averages
15 points per game while split-
ting time between the post and
guard positions. Holding offers
from Georgia Southern, Concor-
dia and Miles, Bailey picked The
W because she wanted to stay
close to home and because of the
school’s highly regarded nursing
program.
Sophomore Tori Weir also
played at Columbus High.
Weir’s primary sport in high
school was volleyball, but she
also started three years for the
Lady Falcons’ basketball team.
Seeing an opportunity to play
both sports at MUW, Weir said it
wasn’t a hard decision to stay in
Columbus to continue her athlet-
ic career.

Ole Miss (5-2) entered
the day averaging two
home runs per game,
which ranked fifth na-
tionally. It improved on
the trend with home runs
from Thomas Dillard,
Tyler Keenan, and Cole
Zabowski. Each member
of the starting nine had at
least a hit or an RBI.
Sophomore Jordan
Fowler started and allowed
five runs (two earned) in 1
2/3 innings. Senior Connor
Green picked up his second
career win after throwing
2 1/3 scoreless innings.
Through 42 appearances
in four years, Green hadn’t
earned a win, but he now
has victories in two con-
secutive games. He hasn’t
allowed a run this season.
Senior Ryan Olenek
went 3-for-4 with two runs
scored. He also made his
second appearance on the
mound when he came in
in the ninth. He struck
out two to set the side
down in order.
Sophomore Carl Gindl
set a career high with four
RBIs.
n In related news, the
National Collegiate Base-
ball Writers Association
(NCBWA) named Dillard
the National Hitter of the
Week on Tuesday. He also
won the Golden Spikes
Award Performance of the
Week and Southeastern
Conference Player of the
Week, as well as National
Player of the Week nods
from Collegiate Baseball
and College Sports Mad-
ness.
Last week, Dillard had
seven hits (three home
runs) and hit for the cy-
cle. He scored four runs
and drove in 13.
n No. 23 Southern
Mississippi loses to
New Orleans: At Hatties-
burg, the Privateers (6-
1) used eight pitchers to
edge the Golden Eagles
(4-3) on Tuesday night at
Pete Taylor Park.
The Golden Eagles
took a 1-0 lead in the sec-
ond when Matt Wallner
doubled and scored on a
sacrifice fly by Will Mc-
Gillis.
New Orleans used
four-straight hits to chase
starting pitcher Jarod
Wright. Catcher Beau
Bratton had an RBI sin-
gle and outfielder Luther
Woullard had a run-scor-
ing double.
Southern Miss strand-
ed 10 runners in the final
eight innings and man-
aged just one run for the
third time in four games.
The Golden Eagles have
scored six runs in those
last four games.
Brandon Mitchell (1-
0), the second of UNO’s
pitchers, earned the vic-
tory. He allowed an un-
earned run on two hits.
Reeves Martin picked
up his third save of the
season with a scoreless
ninth. He allowed a hit
and struck out three.
Wright (0-1) gave up
two runs on six hits. He
walked one and struck
out five.
Wallner, who went
hitless in three games
at Mississippi State last
weekend, had two oppo-
site-field doubles Tues-
day. Leadoff man Gabe
Montenegro also had two
hits.
n Alabama beats
North Alabama: At Tus-
caloosa, Alabama, the
Alabama baseball team
used a six-run third and
solid pitching to earn an
8-0 win over North Ala-
bama on Tuesday.
Five pitchers com-
bined on the shutout to
push the Crimson Tide to
6-2.
Eight of Alabama’s
nine starters had a hit.

“It’s just playing harder, playing tough-
er,” Carter said. “Three years brings a lot
of experience. You learn ways not to get
pushed around as much.”
Mississippi State (21-7, 9-6 Southeast-
ern Conference) has won five straight
league games for the first time since 2008.
Now the Bulldogs are essentially assured
a spot in the NCAA tournament for the
first time since 2009 and Howland said
the discussion has turned to improving
their seed on Selection Sunday.
“I’m so excited for our players,” How-
land said. “It’s all about the players and
their chance to experience and compete
in the NCAA Tournament. I got to do it
twice as a player and it’s the greatest expe-
rience you can have in college basketball.”
Weatherspoon, a senior, passed 1,900
points for his career and made 3 of 4
3-pointers. Reggie Perry had 15 points
and nine rebounds. Abdul Ado blocked
five shots.
Missouri (12-15, 3-12) lost its fourth-
straight game. It was competitive in loss-
es to Ole Miss, Kentucky and Florida,
and hung close in this one for much of the
game, but it couldn’t overcome a tough
night on offense. Missouri’s 49 points
were a season low. The Tigers shot just
33 percent from the field and had 15 turn-
overs. Torrence Watson led Missouri with
12 points. Jeremiah Tilmon added 11.
“We just couldn’t get baskets to go for
us,” Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin said.
“They made enough to win the ballgame.”
MSU dominated most of the first half,
pulling out to a 27-12 lead with 6 minutes,
46 seconds remaining. Missouri rallied
to cut the deficit to 33-26 by halftime, but
could get no closer than five points during
the second half.

Holmes
Continued from Page 1B
she played in plenty of big
games.
This season, the No. 5
MSU women’s basketball
team is reaping the rewards
of Holmes’ leadership. At 7
p.m. Thursday (SEC Net-
work+), MSU (25-2, 13-1
Southeastern Conference)
will take on LSU in its reg-
ular-season home finale. In
the process, MSU will hon-
or seniors Holmes, Teaira
McCowan, and Jordan Dan-
berry in a ceremony after
the game.
“She is a difference play-
er for us, and has been for
most of her career,” MSU
coach Vic Schaefer said.
Schaefer was answering a
question about the evalu-
ation by Dan Olson, of es-
pnW, about Holmes during
her senior season at Harri-
son Central High School.
Olson, a former college
basketball coach turned
evaluator, called Holmes
an “explosively athletic
floor-leader with a scorer’s
mentality; confident de-
meanor with attack mode
in transition; mid-range
game creator with soft
touch on jumper; defends
in pressure, converts off
turnovers; a potential dif-
ference maker at next level
with 3-point consistency.”
All of that has turned out
to be the case, as Holmes is
averaging 7.3 points and 2.2
rebound per game. More
importantly, she is leading
the team in assists (5.4
per game) and steals (57).
In leading the SEC in as-
sist-to-turnover ratio (4.5),
she has handed out 145
assists and has committed
only 32 turnovers.
“As a sophomore and as
a junior, she played in big
games and big moments,
and in fourth quarters all of
that,” Schaefer said. “She
has had great experience
and she has more than deliv-
ered, and this year tells you
what she has done she has
led a team to a 25-2 record
and a top-five ranking in the
country.”
Schaefer said all of that
is even more impressive
considering Holmes had to
adjust her game as a new
starter with two starters who
are in their first year with the
program. Still, MSU is aver-
aging 87.3 points per game
and shooting 49.2 percent
from the field. Those marks
also lead the SEC.
Schaefer said that evi-
dence supports his claim
that Holmes is the best
point guard in the country.
His reasoning is simple:
Holmes has led the Bull-
dogs to 25 wins and she
takes care of the basketball,
which gives the Bulldogs a
chance to be one of the na-
tion’s most efficient teams.
Initially, though, Holmes
had to learn how to handle
the toughest position to
play on a team coached by
Schaefer. The veteran coach
expects his point guards
to value the basketball and
to set the tone with their
energy on both ends of the
floor. He said Holmes had
to understand how to handle
the increased pressure she
faced in her initial season
in Division I basketball, but
he said she grew more and
more comfortable with each
game and with each season.
As Holmes grew from a
freshman to a sophomore
and to a junior, Schaefer said
he saw her test William more
and more. He said the Bull-
dogs were fortunate to have
two guards as quick as Wil-
liam and Holmes and ones
who challenged each other
so much in practice. He
hopes Holmes has provided
similar leadership to Myah
Taylor, a redshirt freshman
guard, who has apprenticed
under Holmes this season.

one that utilized our slow cooker to
make the filling and that enabled
the enchiladas to be quickly assem-
bled and finished in the oven.
First we created a simple but
flavorful red chile sauce with
onion, garlic, spices, and tomato
sauce, then braised chicken thighs
directly in the sauce, which both

backbone, we stuck with the classic
southern Spanish flavors of saffron,
garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin.

For supper, “We served
chicken and sausage gumbo,
crawfish linguine, red beans
and rice, Caesar salad, assorted
fruit trays and vegetable trays,”
said Callie Steenstra, a manager
at Zachary’s.
Lion Hills’ dessert table
decked out in purple, gold and
green showcased a tower of Car-
nival season’s signature sweet

Chef Eliana Olivera, assisted
by Lion Hills culinary students.

theme, what personifies that
better than king cake and bread
puddings?”
In spite of the unexpected
loss of power as the evening
began, everyone rallied to pull
off the event with emergency
lighting and candlelight.
“Everybody just worked
together,” Molina said. “Even
guests were volunteering to
see what was needed. It was
all going to a good cause and
people were dressed to the
nines. Everybody still was very
positive.”
Columbus Arts Council gala
volunteer Karen Arzamendi
praised the caterers’ dedication.
“Everybody could have
gone home and taken cover
for themselves, but they were
real troopers,” she said. “The
food was delicious, it was hot,
and there was plenty of it,” she
said. “There wasn’t anything
we could do about the weather,
and we were all safe and already
there, and knew we needed to
just make this thing go.”
Mother Nature threw a
curveball into this event that
was months in the planning, but
the unflappable spirit of culi-
nary staff from Zachary’s and
Lion Hills ensured tables were
filled with a Mardi Gras repast
in spite of it. It’s similar to the
spirit we’re seeing each day
as people pull together to heal
storm-hit neighborhoods. The
good times will roll again.

chickpeas and aromatics.

flavorful, starchy canning
liquid helped to give the
dish more body.
Finally, we added a
traditional picada, which
is often used in Spanish
cooking as a thickener.
The bread crumb-based
mixture gave the stewed
beans and greens just the
right velvety texture and
flavor boost. Our finished
dish would be equally at
home as part of a tapas
spread or served as an
entree over rice or with
good crusty bread to sop
up the flavorful broth.
If you can’t find curly-
leaf spinach, you can sub-
stitute flat-leaf spinach;
do not substitute baby
spinach. For an accurate
measurement of boiling
water, bring a full kettle
of water to a boil and then
measure out the desired
amount.

Enchiladas

After experimenting
with oven temperatures

baking the assembled
enchiladas covered for 15
minutes in a 450 F oven
resulted in perfectly melt-

of the tortillas did not dry
out in the process.
Serve with sour
